Ok. So the worst blogger birthed from Dawn Athy is back. So much has happened over the past week and I have not told my people anything. Ill try my best to sum things up. Last Saturday I visited the DMZ and got to see North Korea (4KM away). Also, I was randomly put into a Tomato festival in this small Korean town. It was one of the strangest hours of my life. One minute I was on a bus and the next I was I was marching down a street being cheered on by Koreans. It was a def. a first for a kid from Philly. On Monday I had my Korean language final exam and it went very well. I graduated and they gave me a very nice diploma (I'll put up pictures soon). A couple nights after that everyone went out and partied with the teachers. It was off the chain. The teachers are real cool and I'm going to miss them. Oh yea, there's this girl I met that has become an acquittance of mine. This woman I met that worked at the local store wrote me a letter (all in Korean...) and we went out to get ice cream. It was real nice. I practiced/ butchered my Korean and she practiced her English. I intend to stay in touch with her. Okay, next....
I also performed in a talent show in which I performed/ sang/ danced to "Gone" by N'Sync. Sweet.
On Friday we packed our bags for good (goodbye Chuncheon!!). We drove to Seoul and I did some cool things. PAT, Koreans are extremely proud of their country and take the Olympics very seriously. I was in City Hall in Seoul and watched an archery match between a Korean and a Cuban and it was real nice because the Korean dude came back and won. Watching the people go crazy was niiiiiiiiiiiice. I have pictures.
Tom. I meet my principal, vice princial, co-teacher, and homestay family. Big day. I'm going to try my best to keep you guys up to date. There will be pictures up soon. The journey countinues and now its on to a new challenge or shall I say opportunity. Its all love over here people. I miss you and am truly grateful for the support. Keep it comming. PCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! Yo Ivan, tell Lauryn to put out some music.
BTW. When I get my cell phone I will tell you guys my number so we can hook up. But you should download SKYPE at skype.com. Its free and we can talk for as long as we would like. My skype name is Michael Athy.

Korea did really well in the Olympics Mei Mei. They won a few TKD and archery events. For such a small country they handled themselves nicely.
